Availability
I am available for freelance and contract work on an hourly or per-project basis.However, if the right opportunity comes along, I might consider FT employment. At this time, I am open to remote positions only, but I may be able to travel based on project needs.
I live and work in both the U.S. and Uruguay during various parts of the year, have legal authorization to work in and from both locations, and do not require sponsorship.
Why the Name Vaquita Design?
I have a rat terrier who is black and white. The pattern of his fur colors are a pretty close approximation of a Friesian cow. He is here in Uruguay when I am, and because of his handsome looks has earned the nickname vaquita, which means "little cow". He has also grown a small pot belly in his older age, which enhances the resemblance.
Vaquita Design is named in honor of him.
Carl, el vaquita
